Color Management

Providing consistent color across all label types and substrates, ensuring that all your labels look the same on a store shelf.

Our system is designed to document, control and improve all materials and processes that affect the accuracy and consistency of color reproduction, thereby providing continuous color quality.

We have assembled a team of color experts, each of whom is a specialist in the key stages of the color reproduction process, to frequently monitor and update our program. We have developed and incorporated standards for profiling our presses, file production, proofing processes, plate making and press control. These standards help provide consistent color quality across all label types and substrates printed at any of Fort Dearborn’s facilities.

Retailers also benefit from these processes to achieve color consistency from co-packers who purchase directly from Fort Dearborn.

Our HiColour™ 7-color process printing system along with our color management program provides accurate color reproduction from print run to print run, ensuring your brand is consistent across multiple vendors.
